This bill proposes an amendment to the Catawba Indian Tribe of South Carolina Land Claims Settlement Act of 1993 . The primary purpose is to modify the criteria for tribal membership enrollment for the Catawba Indian Tribe. Specifically, the legislation strikes language from the 1993 Act that currently mandates two conditions for an individual to be enrolled as a tribal member. These conditions are being a lineal descendant of a person on the final base membership roll and having continued to maintain political relations with the Tribe. By removing this clause, the bill would alter the established requirements for future tribal enrollment.
